On June 13th, thirty two duly elected delegates from across the U.S. will gather in Houston, Texas, to form the new volunteer grassroots management team which will take over governance of the national FairTax® 501(c)(4) organization, Americans For Fair Taxation (AFFT). Ray McKee and Chuck Bailey will be representing Alabama at this meeting. The weekend will begin Friday night with an address to the delegates by Rep. Jim Bridenstine (R-OK) to set the stage for a long weekend working meeting. He is a FairTax® cosponsor and sponsor of HJR 104, Repeal of the 16th Amendment.

The goal for this initial meeting is to establish a working management team and several essential committees to inject life into our efforts to abolish the IRS, repeal the 16th Amendment and replace both with a single rate consumption tax only on new goods and services purchased for individual use. The results will be reported to you next month. Please wish us well in this endeavor!
